Slow morning on the ice, only caught a few gills that seemed scattered in a 14ft flat. Caught and released a dandy 10 inch fish. Going out the evening to see if I can find some crappie. Only 6 inches of ice on the lake this morning. Drove my sxs out yesterday afternoon looking for perch, solid 8 inches of ice.

Last evening may be the last ice fishing trip of the season. There was 4 ft of open water I had to walk thru to get onto the ice. We lost 2 inches of ice from the time I went in the morning. Im going to hike in and check a lake this afternoon and see if I can squeeze one more trip in.

I hiked in but didnt wear my hip boots to wade out to good ice. Polaris Ranger 4 seater went through on my lake today. Guess it's a wrap.

Everybody in the Ranger get out safely? Yeah, everyone good. I was working in the yard and left my phone in the house on the charger. I had 17 missed call’s, everyone thought it was me that went through.

Down in Florida for spring break. This was from a charter on Tuesday. Used the same guy for the last 8 years, this was probably our slowest year, but still enough for a good fish cookout.

My youngest with a whiting from the beach, did it all by herself. Beach fishing has been pretty good, a mixed bag of sheep head, snook, jacks, ladyfish, a couple don’t knows, and the nasty catfish.

Little stingray caught from the beach Have you cleaned a stingray? We kept a big one and cleaned it. It was weird texture but fried up nice and was very good to eat. Nice haul. Heading down in June. Good snook fishing then.
